Got It Covered

August 21, 1987

WHAT WOULD DEWEY SAY? The Winter Park Library's 8 1/2-year-old carpet will be replaced soon, but no thanks to city hall. The city turned down the library's request for money to replace the threadbare burnt orange floor covering.

Instead, the library had to turn to private donations to foot the $27,500 bill to carpet the first floor. A campaign for the second floor comes next.
